Women's Choral Ensemble

Ave Maria

Lorraine Milovac, Director

Founded in 1927, the University of Pittsburgh Women's Choral Ensemble is open to all women of the University community, including undergraduates, graduate students, and staff. The ensemble sings the National Anthem for the Pitt women's soccer team home games, participates in the Women's Choir Festival in Western Pennsylvania, and performs each semester on campus. The members rehearse three hours per week and receive one college credit each semester for their participation. The group performs repertory ranging from traditional sacred and secular classics to international folk songs, popular music, and show tunes. The ensemble can be frequently heard performing the National Anthem at Women's Volleyball games, Men's Soccer, Baseball, Softball, Wrestling, and Swimming in addition to Women's soccer games. Auditions are held each fall.
